Applications open for the 2025 Stationers’ Company Warrants
The Stationers’ Company announced today that it is now open for applications for new Warrants and 2025 Warrant renewals.
These Annual Warrants are formal recognition of the high quality that companies in the Communications and Content Industries put into their products and services, recognising, and acknowledging excellence, with the annual scheme now in its 11th year.
The scheme distinguishes itself by being open to everyone in the Communications and Content industry sectors, both members and non-members of the Stationers’ Company.
The Stationers’ Company confirms a limited number of warrants each year. They are granted based on a set of rigorous criteria including original design and high-quality manufacturing/production techniques, as well as factors such as appropriate and sustainable packaging, and relevance to the industry or market sector; supporting evidence of quality is required.
Applications are reviewed by an eminent panel of Stationers’ Company members, and presentation of new Warrants will take place at a formal luncheon in Stationers’ Hall on 10th March 2025. In 2024, over 130 attended this event, providing additional publicity for the companies involved. The closing date for applications is Friday 29th November 2024.
Chris Geer, Chair of the Warrants Committee states: “Warrants remain important in increasingly competitive markets, as they offer differentiation and a quality mark of recognition. We encourage businesses to come forward and shout about the great things they are doing”.
Our current Warrant holders are:
- A-dapt International Limited
- Aurora Pens
- Bespoke British Pens
- Glassboxx
- Integra
- Ricoh
- Rose Calendars
- Supadu
- Victor Stationery
If you have a product or service that would benefit from being considered for a Stationers’ Company Warrant, we welcome your application as soon as possible as there are only a limited number of warrants available each year. Application forms and Terms and Conditions are available online at the Stationers’ Company website Warrants Scheme (stationers.org)
